The disclosure relates to a method for operating a photovoltaic system for feeding a medium-voltage grid, wherein the photovoltaic system has a photovoltaic generator including a plurality of photovoltaic modules, at least one inverter and at least one medium-voltage transformer. The medium-voltage transformer is connected on the primary side directly to a low-voltage AC output of the inverter, the inverter is connected to the photovoltaic generator via a DC input, and the inverter permits reverse currents from the low-voltage AC output to the DC input. The method is characterized by the fact that in the event that there is insufficient generation of electric power for the feed by the photovoltaic modules, the inverter remains connected on the AC side to the medium-voltage grid via the medium-voltage transformer, and remains connected on the DC side to the photovoltaic generator.

Photovoltaic system and method for operating a photovoltaic system for feeding electrical power into a medium-voltage network

The disclosure relates to a method for operation of a photovoltaic installation for feeding electrical power into a medium-voltage power supply grid, with the photovoltaic installation having a plurality of photovoltaic modules, at least one inverter and at least one medium-voltage transformer, and with the primary side of the medium-voltage transformer being connected directly to an alternating-current (AC) low-voltage output of the inverter, and at least one direct-current (DC) switching member being arranged between the photovoltaic modules and a DC input of the inverter. When the electrical power produced by the photovoltaic modules in the photovoltaic installation is not sufficient for feeding electrical power into the supply grid, the photovoltaic modules are disconnected from an inverter on the DC voltage side while, in contrast, the inverter remains connected to the medium-voltage power supply grid on the AC voltage side by the medium-voltage transformer.
